I don't get it - what do you people need Kubuntu for? Couldn't you just install something like ubuntu server and install the KDE environment manually? Even if people like Riddel are the only maintainers of KDE packages, I'm SURE there is some ubuntu-compatible repository for KDE packages. Plenty of other distros (to my knowledge) get by with KDE and don't need maintainers dedicated to those packages. I don't see why Ubuntu needs that either.

KDE's software isn't trivial to package. It's a large mass of software packages that have interesting (getting simpler though due to the refactoring in KF5) dependencies.
Although, I want to point out that there is new blood coming into Kubuntu, so I don't think we really have to worry just yet about it going away.
